PSA on "Get a Clue"

The PSA on "Get a Clue" was sent to the four main stations in Green Bay: WBAY, FOX, WGBA and WFRV.

If you haven't previewed it on the CSLP page, Paul Giamati narrates this, starring the dog detective, Ike LaRue. It's cute! If any of you happen to see it on a local station, please let me know!

I do have an extra disk with the PSAs if someone is interested in running it on a local cable station or looping it at your library. First come, first served!

NWCBC and CCBC Promotion

Last September I attended the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference up in Cable, WI (near Hayward). Despite the drive, it was well attended and very interesting! Kymberley Pelky also attended (see comment below) and enjoyed it. There were sessions on story time techniques, creative writing, songs and literature, AND....a presentation by the CCBC. You will be getting brochures this week with more information on this year's conference, held September 27 and 28 in Cable.

An NFLS librarian who attends the CCBC presentation on Thursday, May 24, will have a chance to go to the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference this year, on behalf of NFLS! We will cover one person's conference fee (includes, dinner, breakfast and lunch), one night of lodging and your mileage! Here is what you need to do:

1.
Sign up (if you haven't already) and attend the entire CCBC presentation at NFLS on May 24.

2. Register to win a chance at going to the Northwest Wisconsin Children's Book Conference by May 24. The drawing will be done after the CCBC workshop on May 25.

3. After you attend the conference, compose a post/article for "Little Nic," sharing what you learned.

As mentioned, your library will be receiving a conference brochure this week in the mail.
Please take part in this exciting promotion if you are interested!

Magic Materials

The posters for Jim Lenz's program "Magic of Reading" went out last week, along with some instructions. There is also a press release and PSA that you can submit with your library information, available on the youth page.
Please feel free to use these in order to promote the performances! If you also need more posters, let me know, and I'll email them to you.

PLEASE remember that you DO NOT need to pay Jim on the day he performs. You will be invoiced ($25 per performance) by NFLS.
Any questions, let me know!
